I could have sworn I took more pics, but here's one for now. I was stumped as to what was causing the discoloration, as the thought of someone lacquering silver didn't even cross my mind. It took forever to remove it all!
what's the serial number on the bell?
19151

That's got to be one of the last Distins. The highest number I've seen was a tenor trombone on eBay last year: 19869
Keefer apparently started over in 1910.
